Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Just saw that on replay Rodgers was being facemasked. That was the worst crew I have seen in some time determining PFs to the QB. That was about the fourth or fifth PF on Rodgers the Cardinals got away with.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Oh, lord, people would be complaining as much or more if it went from an Arizona TD to 1st and 10 Packers.

It wasn't all that noticeable on the first look, and when you consider that the official also needed to be watching where the ball went and if it was caught (since a fumble would have led to Tuck Rule #2) I can't really blame them for not catching it and throwing the flag. It kind of felt like an NHL OT where the officials didn't want to give the offense yards to set up the FG.

Although you are spot on with everything you say here, one still has to wonder why NONE of the other officials saw it.

I'm not as up-in-arms with it as others seem to be. The Packers lost that game for a lot of reasons, and the missed calls for roughing the passer are only one of those reasons.

I don't care how many fantasy geeks are jizzing their pants over how much offense there was in this game, it started to become a joke how bad these defenses were. I have trouble understanding people who watch a game like that and feel like they've just witnessed an incredible football game. If I were a neutral fan, I'd have probably enjoyed that game only for the drama of the finish.

Agreed.

They missed a blatant helmet-to-helmet hit on the play earlier to that (2nd down when they called holding).

I will be shocked if that crew works a second post-season game.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

So then there wasnt any missed calls that benefited the Pack at all...right? Like when Warner got crushed well after the ball was gone and the officials didn't call it despite the ref being right next to Warner as he was hit? (or how about the horse collar that wasnt a horse collar)

The Packers lost because their D couldn't stop a PeeWee offense yesterday. Zona will lose to the Saints next week for the same reason. If you break down every play you can find a penalty if you really want to.

edit: Yes I am a Vikings fan, yes I hate the Pack, no that has nothing to do with my opinion of the play.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Thread drift from the soccer thread: Why does Dan Snyder want to build a domed stadium? DC isn't excessively hot (e.g. like Phoenix), or at least it isn't during football season; it isn't excessively cold (e.g. like Minneapolis), and it isn't (as far as I'm aware) excessively rainy (e.g. like Miami). Is he just trying to be different from the Giants and Eagles and Cowboys?

Snyder is jealous of the evident superiority of the Detroit Lions Franchise, and has been since week 3.

I'll chase you down from that thread. The stated reason is, summers and humidity can be brutal in DC, especially in September. Another reason is that a dome or more likely retractable roof, lets you hold big events like the SuperBowl and the Final Four. Finally, he wants a retractable roof because Jerry got one.

Wow, that's the first time I've heard a Lions fan talk trash in, like, years. :p
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Three of four games played this weekend will be played within a dome setting. Interesting.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Road teams have done well in this round lately. Will be interesting to see, as several road teams have legitimate chances to win this weekend as well.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

That didn't take long.
 
Re: NFL 2009 Thread #3: The Quest for Perfection

Nice start. I want to see a Cards @ Vikes game next weekend. :)

And the fourth game may as well be in a dome, since it's in San Diego.

Not a good post-season for people who like the elements.

Especially the early game tomorrow. Isn't that road team already being presented the Lombardi Trophy?

Plus FedEx is like 12 years old, who can play in such an ancient crumbling stadium. (In all fairness, FedEx does suck compared to RFK, doesn't have the soul the old place did.) I'm not saying DC in late summer is super pleasant, but I still couldn't buy a weather excuse, it's more as you said to host stuff and to make him look like Mister Big Money Businessman Owner. Plus he didn't build FedEx, so he probably wants to build one with more advertising space for him to sell, I mean the current stadium is too geared towards football and not advertising.
